There was a moment today, just a moment, where I was ready to burst into tears. Half way through the second day on the job and everyone disappears. Of course, it was exactly in that 120 seconds during which I got stuck on what I was doing AND the phone rings. That was the tear inducing moment. For a panicked moment, I had no idea what to do. I womaned up and answered the phone hoping that I could rely on my previous knowledge to get me through it. It worked and I was able to muddle through the call. I was able to then figure out most of my question on my own...and then it was lunchtime! Everything could be left as it was until I came back. And then everyone else would be back too. It all worked out in the end. But I hated that moment.
Made my day a little bit when I got to lunch, my friends were there and they were all abuzz wanting to see pictures of C-Lou's afghan looking stellar on the back of her couch. Of course, lunchtime was over much too quickly and it was back to an afternoon of work. I was able to wander off in my brain for a few minutes and think about projects to be done. That's always a splendid usage of my time.
Also spent some quality time with the voices this morning before work. There are new ones! I don't know yet where they belong or if they get a new story all together. We shall see. Either way, I had to get them out of my head and down on paper or else my brain would explode and I couldn't go into work with an exploded head. It was a matter of self preservation, those few minutes of writing. Thank goodness I had time and some paper.
All in all, despite that 120 seconds of tear inducing panic, it was another good day. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that it continues.
